Kenyon Martin is happy he's staying put.

The NBA's trading deadline came and went Thursday and the Nuggets power forward, whose name has been mentioned as trade bait for weeks, is still in Denver.

"I'm excited," said Martin after practice. "It's tough to get up and move."

He expects trade rumors to resume once the offseason begins, however.

"It is what it is. The talk is not going to stop," Martin said.
